NCT ID NCT03124212

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at families in Switzerland who carry genes that raise the risk of breast, ovarian, colorectal, or endometrial cancers. Researchers will survey both the person with the gene mutation and their close relatives to understand how many get tested and what barriers they face. The goal is to find better ways to offer genetic counseling and testing to prevent cancer deaths.
